Chapter 30

Essenceism's opinion on the sacred books

I would like to point out that I did not need the Bible, the Koran, Tao-te-ching, Tipitaka, Book of Mormon or any other such work to demonstrate the existence of the Original Being. "My" Original Being is the result of analysis applied in science. It is still hypothetical. Therefore, for many years I have been conducting discussions with my fellow scientists to check the correctness of my hypothesis. Thus, the Original Being is not some object of worship or the beginning of a religion.

An additional topic of my research and discussion is the problem of the existence of evil. In this research, however, I could not do without some suggestions from the biblical records. However, as with most of the phenomena I research, I still define evil in relation to the Original Being. Invariably, it is a reality that exists completely outside of Him. I am always ready to face theologians and philosophers who are not able to understand that the omnipotent and omniscient God they describe exists in their teaching only to participate in the earthly evil. I believe that the time has come to call our reality outside the Creator and its source by name. In essenceism, the spiritual evil that is the source of evil, I deliberately do not call the devil, but use a name whose roots go deeper than the Bible. It is, of course, about Satan. In his identification, Adam, Eve and the Archangel Lucifer play the same role as the research models in scientific analysis. A theory is built around these models. Only at the end, when the next model proves successful, can a thesis be made about the studied phenomenon. This is examining the matter in a different way than philosophers and theologians do. It was no coincidence that I analyzed the biblical description of the origins of evil in this way. I did it also because during the last years, when I was creating my websites, most of the questions that were addressed to me concerned the problem of the existence of evil. Of course, I could content myself with the definition of evil resulting from the definition of good in relation to the existence of the Original Being. However, I live in a specific environment, that is, among people, most often my readers, who have different ways of understanding reality than me. I also had several author meetings with, for example, Jehovah's Witnesses who are based only on the Bible. All such contacts have convinced me that the content of books considered sacred by individual religions should be re-analyzed using current scientific knowledge. For weaving in ancient times completely inhibits the process of saving the world from evil. So far, the existence of so-called holy books has not solved the problem of evil. The evil religions derived from these books have not been resolved either. That shows something.

Due to different interpretations of the entries in religious books, essenceism does not provide for entering into discussions about these entries. The time has come to get out of the enchanted circle of dogmatic disputes arising from these writings. So, religions should be induced to free themselves from the constant defense of their views, which are only backed by their power of authority. The time has come for them to start using the power of love.

When it comes to the Bible, an ancient description of good, bad, and behavior is the content of the older section. These records are still held sacred. Meanwhile, the knowledge of what Abraham, Moses or any other form of the Old Testament did should be replaced by the teachings of Jesus Christ, because these previously important Old Testament records did not lead to his acceptance as the Son of God. The error of "staying" in the Old Testament also applies to Muhammad, who lived several hundred years after Jesus, but decided that he must go back to antiquity. Therefore, when starting to create my system, I deliberately gave up using the Koran. The only legacy of this book is the fact that we are dealing with one and only Creator of the universe. I took a similar attitude towards texts from East and South Asia. The teachings of Confucius Buddha or Laozi, although they have survived down to our day, have made no meaningful changes to change the bad state of our world. They are probably important to people from that part of the world. Apart from the analysis of the phenomenon of reincarnation, I did not refer to any other content contained in those writings.

To sum up, as I indicated at the beginning, I do not use the principle of entries in religious books. Of course, I thought about their teachings. I am particularly impressed by the words and deeds of Jesus Christ. It is a pity, however, that their credibility is incomplete because of unverifiable accounts and records of His life. There is also this phenomenon of a biased account of the content conveyed orally by the apostles in the first century after Christ. All this takes away the value of the scientific sources mentioned in the books mentioned.

 

 

 

 

Chapter 31

The Bible as a possible document

Essenceism is a system that approaches the problem of God's existence from the "scientific side". The point is that it does not deduce His existence from the contents of any holy book. These, considered inspired works, are most often the basis of faith for countless religious denominations. The most famous book of religion, the Bible, is the basis of several of the world's great religions. It is about Judaism, which accepts its older veneration, and about Christianity, which, thanks to Catholicism, has accepted all its books. The Koran also contains facts taken from its content.

Unfortunately, from the point of view of the methods of work of a scientist, the Bible cannot be the basis for recognizing historical facts, creating precise theories, hypotheses and unambiguous views. So far, science does not take into account revelations, supernatural phenomena or spiritual visions arising in a different mental state of man. The main obstacle to considering this book as a reliable source of information is the fact that it was written under completely "unscientific" circumstances. The sources of information contained therein are lost in the distant, unverifiable future. Large doubts, especially concerning the oldest period, are raised by the lack of established authorship, the fact that events were written down by non-objective people, the uncontrolled way of translating oral testimonies or referring to unverified revelations, descriptions and accounts.

Additionally, essenceism draws attention to the ambiguity and unclearness of the content of the Bible. Thousands or even millions of interpretations drew contradictory conclusions from it. The very fact that thousands of religious denominations, often fighting each other, have arisen on its basis, proves the uselessness of biblical descriptions for effective scientific research.

All these facts give a high probability of transferring false information into the sphere of faith that people accept. It is of little concern when these confessions treat the content of the Bible as teaching parables, for which truth does not matter. It is worse when the biblical content is read as the actual state of events. The worst thing is when you want to feel the solutions contained in this book literally.

Essenceism assumes that we can understand the Bible properly when we use the maximum of our intelligence and intuition, and when we find the right code to decode it. In imparting their knowledge of Jesus, the apostles claimed that he spent much of his time with them explaining to them the Scriptures we know today as the Old Testament. Meanwhile, for hundreds of years before Jesus, the scribes explained to the Israelites the secrets of the books that exist until today. It can be seen that Jesus knew a certain code unknown to anyone before and explained the content of the Old Testament books in a completely different way than the scribes of the time. It exposed himself to the Jewish leaders, especially the Pharisees. Undoubtedly, Jesus revealed to the apostles an important code or some kind of "key" to decipher the Old Testament. This later helped them and their successors to prepare the contents of the accounts and testimonies that make up the New Testament. The proof of the lack of knowledge of this code by the then Jewish clergymen can be the assertion of Jesus that no one at that time understood that these ancient Scriptures speak of Him. This is important information. Apparently, after hundreds of years of studying the prophecies and the Scriptures, a New Teacher, Jesus Christ, came and made known to everyone what their proper meaning was. Unfortunately, despite His efforts, hardly anyone in the Jewish people believed Him.

The fact of drawing different, even contradictory conclusions from the content of the Bible continues until the present day. For thousands of years we have been reading the books of the Old and New Testaments with different understandings. There are still new interpretations. The older ones, on the basis of which hundreds, if not thousands, of different Christian denominations were founded, are still relevant today. Meanwhile, new interpretations actively stimulate the formation of new churches, associations and religious sects. Each of these denominations considers their interpretation of the Bible to be the most appropriate, leading to conflicts and even wars.

Essenceism assumes that the Bible was written in good faith for the purpose of telling us some important truth. My system even assumes that it was written by inspired people, although not everyone shares this view. Unless it is accepted that the Bible was written by inspired writers, it does not make sense to consider it as a source of proper religious knowledge, especially as a book presenting important knowledge of the existence of God. Without inspiration from phenomena beyond rational evaluation, and without taking into account the ubiquitous inspired symbolism of the facts described, it becomes only a voluminous volume describing certain past events in a biased, inaccurate and sometimes even inconsistent with reality. The practical value of its content can be compared to the value of the parables that Jesus preached. They often sounded like typical stories of ordinary events known to people from another version. However, it is worth accepting that their meaning was much deeper. These were the inspired teachings of Jesus behind the events told. Since the Teacher of the Apostles did it, it means that this method of analyzing the content of the Bible should be appropriate. It is written in many places in the Gospels that Jesus was quoting these Scriptures. However, it was not written that he showed any errors in them. Rather, his explanations consisted of a careful analysis showing that these Scriptures were speaking of Him, and the assertion that the religious leaders of that time did not understand them properly. It seems that the biblical texts were credible to Him.

Many people wonder if the Bible is the true transmission of knowledge about God? Essenceism explains that this book was primarily intended to help the nation of Israel recognize the Messiah in the person of Jesus. Therefore, it is His who can be called the Truth that I am looking for. Meanwhile, this nation did not read the truth from it, neither with capital nor small "p". He did not understand that it was a guide to discerning the expected Messiah. Only after His resurrection, that is, after appearing among the living, the apostles could understand the proper meaning of His teaching and with certainty answer the question what is the truth according to the Bible. Moreover, Jesus himself explained it when he said: "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life" (John 16: 6). So, Truth with a capital "P" is not a description or theory. This is a specific Person. He is the embodiment of what the Bible teaches, which Christians call the Word of God.

According to essenceism, the Bible does not represent truth in itself, especially the truth with a lowercase "p". It describes historical facts that, according to other sources, looked completely different or might not have happened at all. It presents words that have not necessarily been made to specific or supposed listeners. Today we know these words only from accounts and we can understand them completely different than in the old days. However, they don't necessarily have to do with actual events. However, it can be argued that the Bible is a book that leads to the truth using ways that appeal to human intelligence.

According to science, it is difficult to judge what of what the prophets, the patriarchs, especially Jesus, have said, has come to our day authentically. Therefore, it would be best for science if we could have authentic recordings of words from that time, which of course is impossible.

So I claim that it is a didactic book. By means of various pictures, descriptions, metaphors and parables, he tries to teach not only the right thing to do, but something much more important. An example of this is the parable of the Good Samaritan told by Jesus. He wanted to define the concept of his neighbor through it, and it does not matter whether the described event took place at all. As a teacher to the apostles, Jesus often used such didactic methods so that simple people would understand difficult concepts. Further, he wanted to make every recipient of His parables be guided by both love and wisdom resulting from logical thinking. For he wanted only love to reign in the world. This was one of the main purposes of His teachings. Perhaps this conclusion boils down to the educational value of the Bible.

The above considerations lead to the conclusion that the Bible is an open book in which billions of people try to find "their" Truth in their own way. The idea of ​​essenceism presented here wants to help them in this, primarily using logical thinking. Essenceism rejects the notion that in the case of getting to know God, one should not be guided by our human logic. Such an unauthorized claim is most often used to "brainwash" believers, which in turn leads to unnecessary fanaticism and inappropriate attitudes towards people. Uncritical acceptance of the dogmatic findings of the biblical content deprives people of the right to their own path in getting to know their Creator. Therefore, essenceism claims that through analytical and logical reasoning opens the way to understanding God in our own independent and original way. That's what the Bible is for.

Thanks to these explanations, anyone can understand that the Bible cannot be a document on the basis of which science can acquire proper knowledge about the Creator of the universe. Rather, the Bible is a book intended for the individual so that he himself can find "his private", unique Heavenly Father.

More ideas of essenceism for religion

It is important to realize that in many cases there is no difference between the religious views of different faiths and the rational approach of many scientists to understanding God's existence. Both groups show the same scale of faith. Rational scientists argue that the universe was either created out of nothing or a so-called singularity. They cannot otherwise define this event, so they use a conventional term which proves that they are powerless in the face of the appearance of this gigantic space-time. This is a kind of "comfortable faith" which takes away from them the need to talk about the possibility of a Creative First Cause. Meanwhile, people who are considered believers only have a problem with how to name this First Cause. They, too, hide their ignorance under the name of God the Father, Allah, Yahweh, etc. In fact, it is the same "singularity" that rarely believing in God scientists speak of, although with a different name.

Essenceism tries to explore the content of this "singularity", avoiding the classical notion of God. My system is not going to get into conflict with the various creeds that cling to their gods made in the "image and likeness" of those creeds. Therefore, in essenceism, the concept of the Original Being appeared, which is the hypothetical Source of all things. By the concept of all things I understand both the physical universe and the state superior to it beyond time and space. Essenceism for understanding the Original Being focuses precisely on this state. I explain in points below what it follows.

First, essenceism assumed that the Original Being must be One, that is, it must be the absolute Source and Core of all things. Only when something emerges from Him in the form of creation can we speak of a duality or multiple of the state of new existence. In parallel with the beings arising from His initiative, forces of cohesion appear, striving for unity that reflects the First Source. Therefore, what emerges from the Original Being should be different states of good between which the energy of coherence interacts. In the case of people, the essential state of this energy is the power of love. It is worth adding that various states of good deriving from the Original Being are concrete forms of existence, which is best illustrated by the model of the basic unit of matter, the atom. It shows the principle of dividing unity into two opposite states, i.e. positive and negative, and the energy acting between them under various forms of interaction. The entire structure of the atom represents the unity depicted in miniature of the Original Being.

Secondly, the Original Being has emerged from Himself the fundamental principles of existence along with the laws that followed from them, as well as the primary energy, which takes various forms of energy and matter in the universe. Thus, as mentioned in the previous point, each of His actions gives rise to specific "good objects" and the accompanying energy. In an attempt to describe it, science has noticed that when these two separate entities start to coexist, they create more complex structures and systems. You can see that they have an enormous amount of intelligence. To understand this, thousands of years had to pass before scientists understood the existence of the genetic DNA code. This encrypted knowledge in nature helped me understand the attributes of the Original Being. They are His Intelligence, Will and Emotionality. This means that the Original Being has a Personality unlimited in time and space. In a further step, this thesis defined the Original Being as the proper Creator.

Third, essenceism leads to the conclusion that the Original Being presented above had a clear goal of creating the universe. The analysis of the details found on the globe leads to the conclusion that the Creator has refined His work in terms of the presence of humanity on it. Therefore, the conclusion is that He refined our planet "to the last button", so that it would be our home for eternity and that it would constantly enable the birth of ever new generations of His children on it. Everything has been prepared on it so that people can bring it and themselves to the state of perfection. This is how one should understand the biblical statement that God rested after the symbolic six days of His "work". Essenceism adds to this the observation that before the "rest" he adopted the principle of giving "His breath of life" to every person born on Earth, that is, an eternal spiritual person.

Fourth, the Original Being treated human existence in a completely different way than the rest of creation. It can be briefly stated that the people who were to be His children were born of Him. Meanwhile, all the rest of creation was fashioned according to the usual function of creation. It can be said that all creation is formed only in the image of the Creator, while people are also in His image. What distinguishes a man from the most developed being on Earth, that is, from an animal, is his spiritual person, being the proper eternal human being. Its goal is to achieve personal perfection during earthly life. Thanks to her, man can live forever beyond time and space, next to his Father.

Fifthly, all indications are that the world so organized has not been properly received by people. As a result, the development planned by the Original Being stopped, and people on Earth began to create a reality completely unknown to him. Essenceism unequivocally called this reality hell, because its main mechanism is evil. It must have happened right at the beginning of human existence. This event is symbolically described in the Bible. It was attended by Adam, Eve and their guardian Archangel Lucifer. On the initiative of the latter, they created a state among themselves that completely reversed the order established by the Creator and initiated the existence of the world under the rule of the Archangel transformed Satan, that is, the already mentioned hell. According to essenceism, these three changed the direction of the force of love into an opposing force of power, which led to the dominant position of Satan. To this day, we have a world resulting from this tragedy. It is a little consolation that Satan's influence on the spiritual world has been weakened by the efforts of various spiritual figures, especially Jesus Christ. However, we still live in an evil world, which we leave behind in the form of physical death, far from perfect. After it, we still remain in the spiritual vestibule of the inaccessible sphere of the spiritual world, in which the Original Being awaits us.

Sixth, if, after this tragedy, the Creator helped people to remove evil with which he has nothing to do, it would mean that what He created was imperfect, and He Himself had failed. However, it cannot be so, and it is not. God, of course, created humans and angels, but what happened between Archangel Lucifer and Adam and Eve was outside of Him. The question, then, is whether good beings can create evil and whether God is responsible for it? It seems that the Creator gave out of Himself beings who created a phenomenon among themselves completely independent of Him, that is, without His knowledge and participation. For they have produced a change in the direction of the force of love among themselves. This triggered one and only possibility that was not controlled by the Creator, which was symbolically described as "the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil." This was done by the above-mentioned children of God, who, due to their period of development, were still imperfect and beyond His control. It was controlled by their tutor who, by changing the direction of the force of love, lost his mission and status as an educator. This could only happen as a result of a change in the original positions between the participants of the event, i.e. that the Archangel took the position of the still imperfect Adam. Despite the fact that the first people had all the attributes necessary to achieve perfection, the participants of the event fell outside the safe limits of the force of love and fell into the spiritual abyss. Cut off from this situation, God still waits for people to rise to perfection. As he established in the beginning, He waits for them in a realm where time does not pass. If, after salvation, even if it takes thousands of years, people return to the right path of development, it will not make any difference in the sphere of waiting for God. The Original Being still expects us to reach Him someday as perfect spiritual beings. I repeat the essenceism claim that God does not take part in the salvation of the world, because it is the responsibility of people.  

Seventh, the situation described above made it possible to identify the source of evil, which makes it possible to eliminate it. Although people know perfectly well about the existence of evil, somehow they are unable to free the world from it. Out of the various trials for the salvation of the world, Jesus Christ carried out the most important one. His tragedy was that people, instead of helping Him, murdered Him. Only the fact that he was the Son of God made him redeem people's spiritual lives at the cost of his life. This proves that the value of the Son of God is greater than that of all people put together. This transaction, called redemption, was forced by Jesus upon Satan after the defeat of the nation of Israel. If the members of this nation had accepted Jesus as the expected Messiah, today we would probably be living in a world where there would be no evil. Thus, the joint effort of the Savior, people and angels can lead to full salvation. If it didn't happen two thousand years ago, it might be the next time. The condition for success is to understand that God cannot do it for us, who knows no evil and has nothing to do with it. Thus, the fulfillment of the responsibility for salvation rests in human hands. The way of salvation may be similar to the way people went in the Old Testament in preparation for the coming of the Messiah. Therefore, people of the modern era should by their attitude work out the possibility of the birth of the Son of God on Earth and, together with Him, get rid of the power of Satan.

The question is how to do this. Certainly, we should not wait for God to have mercy on us and for Him to accomplish salvation. It will never happen. Also, it is not worth waiting for the sign of the Last Judgment to appear in the sky, and Jesus Christ from the clouds will begin to reward or punish us for our sins. Rather, we are to be careful that the arms race does not end with a total catastrophe, i.e. the end of our civilization. It is worth realizing that the so-called "religious" end of the world is really the end of evil, that is, the full salvation of the world. Since the evil of our world began as a result of the opposite direction of the force of love, the good can be restored by changing the direction of the force of power again to the opposite. Then there will be a possibility of the emergence of the force of love, that is, a return to the initial state. If we do not do this, there is only one unlikely action, involving the interference of some other human civilization from space. It would be good if it was consistent with the concept of the Original Being from the very beginning. So far, we know nothing about such or such civilizations. If they were, however, they would not come to us on spacecraft anyway. Rather, we can count on their spiritual support, i.e. help from spiritual people who were brought up in a world where there is no evil. They, like angels, could support many "earthly messiahs", called globetrotters in essenceism. They would wander the length and breadth of the Earth to reach its most remote corners with the knowledge of the possibility of the salvation of mankind.
